The shirt, she sniffed, does not portray a "class image." The lettering, and imprinting of the horse is shabbily done. All 11 shirts that we received were the same.

So for $55, she and her large family received a nice day at the track and ELEVEN FREE t-shirts.

She added, My family will not wear them in public. What do you think of them?

What do I think, lady? I think if you should give those t-shirts to the Salvation Army or something. I'm certain there are less privileged people in the area who would be more than happy to wear them and wouldn't have the gall to write to the newspaper to complain about their free gifts!
